Global Water Development: Interview on America Weekend

It is with humble appreciation to Carl Sabatino and his co-host Rolland Smith for having interviewed Velma Anne Ruth, M.Ed., President of ABS regarding international water development on their national radio program Smith/Sabatino, part of America Weekend, by Envision Networks.

This segment addresses the vital importance of water resources around the world, from the United States to Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond, whereas lack of access to potable (drinking) water poses grave health risks to given populous, and in particular poses life threats against youth by advancing waterborne diseases such as Typhoid, Cholera, and Dysentery.

The discussion highlights the importance of partnership development to advancing long-term water security. ABS charitable initiatives towards the provision of water resources are mentioned, including standing commitments through ABS programs, such as for South Sudan.

Please take a few minutes to listen, and learn more about ABS water development initiatives, with great appreciation to advisers, collaborative partners, and the mutual commitments of NGOs and faith-based groups such as in Haiti, Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, and beyond in working together on this breaking ground initiative towards more sustainable infrastructure in medical development and agriculture for food security.
